| RM 2 has 18
instrument pads. So you can see the most important data
of all instruments at once. |
 |
| Output With
this button you route the instrument to the stereo output
or to one of the six individual outs. When the button is
lit the signal is sent to stereo out and you'll find a
Pan slider next to it. If it is depressed another six
buttons will appear right of it allowing you to select
the desired individual output. |
| Name
You can give your instrument a descriptive name here.
This makes it easier to keep track of your kit. |
| Pan
When the stereo output is assigned you can adjust the pan
position with this fader. On stereo samples, the pan
slider balances the left and right channel. On mono
samples it positions the mono signal in the stereo
panorama. Holding down the Ctrl-key of your keyboard
while clicking on it will center exact to the middle of
the stereo panorama. |
| Level
Adjusts the instrument Volume. If the instrument consists
of several samples, all samples are affected. |
| Solo
Works like you expect it from a mixer: clicking on it lets
RM 2 only play this instrument. |
| Mute
Mutes the whole instrument (switches all samples in this
instrument off). |
| Edit
This light indicates that the instrument is currently
shown on the edit panel of RM 2 located on the left. You
can choose another instrument by clicking on the Trigger
/ Activity button or changing any parameter located on an
instrument pad. |
| Trigger
/ Activity The light indicates that the
instrument has been triggered. It stays lit until all
samples in that instrument have finished. When you click
the pad the instrument is triggered with maximum velocity
(127). So when you have velocity zones, only the samples
for the maximum velocity are triggered. |
Choke
This button let you select different choke modes:
 |
No Choke applied |
 |
Whenever this instrument
is triggered the instrument left of it
will be muted |

will be muted |
 |

for choke group 1. Whenever this
instrument is triggered all other instruments in
group 1 will be muted |
 |
Selects this instrument
for choke group 2. Whenever this
instrument is triggered all other instruments in
group 2 will be muted |
|
| Tune
Allows you to tune the whole instrument up to 2 octaves
up or down. Special effort has been taken to keep the
sample free of distortion and artefacts. The display
indicates the relative tuning in semitones. The setting
of this parameter does not affect the pitch envelope. |
